Is Anthony Weiner preparing for a mayoral bid?
The Democrat’s latest filing with the New York City Campaign Finance Board, published Tuesday, may send some subtle messages.
His mayoral campaign committee, created ahead of his unsuccessful bid for the Democratic nomination in 2005, reported spending just one dollar shy of $37,000 in the last six months. It brought in $27,400 in the same period, largely through a transfer from a previous political committee.
Should he decide to run, Weiner now has nearly $4.5 million cash on hand – a start for a mayoral run in the Big Apple. Mayor Michael Bloomberg spent over $108 million on his successful 2009 bid for a third term, according to the campaign finance board records.

Democrats are shameless. All they want to do is engourge themselves at the taxpayer trough and tell us what to do. They’re corrupt and power mad.

Man, I could think up some great campaign posters for him. lol

Besides the posters, the slogans could be fun, too:
Put a worm in the Big Apple.

I wonder what Hillary’s lesbian lover thinks about this.

typical democrat career. be truly stupid, do something immoral and pathetic, then go further in your career as a reprobate godless hedonist democrat.
if people are stupid enough to elect him, then they deserve whatever he does in office.

At least we already know he’s a big swinging d*ck.

If the pocket Hitler can get in 3 times in a row, there’s no reason the Pork Sword of Brooklyn can’t knock one out.

I don’t know. Did he tweet some more pictures of his mayoral “staff”?
Clink on January 16, 2013 at 10:02 AM
I say he should go for it! There’s no stiffer competition than this Weiner!
